Robert stood outside the door and hugged Avery as soon as she came out.
"Mommy... Play..."
"Okay, I'll play with you." Avery was afraid that the child would disturb Elliot's rest, so she decided to bring him outside to play.
The weather that day was rather good as the sun was bright and it was comfortably breezy.
Autumn was just upon them, so the temperature was not as hot as it was in the summer and the difference between day and night was becoming more and more noticeable.
Over at Bridgedale, Ben accompanied Lilith to the modeling agency and did not seem to be in a hurry to leave.
"Didn't you say you were rushing to catch a plane?" Lilith asked.
"I didn't say I was rushing. I just said the flight is today-tonight, to be precise. I'll leave after having dinner with you tonight. " Ben smiled warmly. "Where's your agent? I'd like to meet her."
That turned out to be Ben's true purpose.
Lilith had no intention of bringing him to see her agent, but speak of the devil and he shall appear.
The first thing that her agent Jasmine saw when she came out of the office was Ben. She immediately asked Lilith, "Who's he? Your elder brother?"
Jasmine knew that Lilith had an elder brother but they never really met before.
Lilith immediately walked up to Jasmine and said, "He's not my brother, Jaz. He's a friend of my brother."
"Oh... Why’d you bring him here?" Jasmine looked away from Ben.
Before Lilith could answer, Ben said, "Nice to meet you. I'd like to talk to you about Lilith's diet."
"Did Elliot tell you to come to me?"
